High-Resolution Genomic Profiling of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Reveals New Recurrent Genomic Alterations

ABSTRACT: To identify genomic alterations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), we performed single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-array analysis on 353 samples from previously untreated patients entered on the CLL8 treatment trial. Based on paired-sample analysis (n=147), a mean of 1.8 copy number alterations (CNAs) per case were identified; about 60% of cases carried no CNAs other than those detected by routine fluorescence in-situ hybridization analysis. Copy-neutral loss-of- heterozygosity was detected in 6% of cases, and most frequently found on 13q, 17p and 11q. Minimal deleted regions (MDRs) were refined on 13q14 (deleted in 61% of cases) to the DLEU1 and DLEU2 genes, on 11q22.3 (27%) to ATM, on 2p (gained in 7% of cases) to a 1.9 Mb fragment containing 9 genes, and on 8q24 (5%) to a segment
